We've brought in nearly $100B in tariff revenue so far and are on track for $300B this year. That's almost 1% of GDP. June delivered a budget surplus with higher revenue and lower spending.
This is how we clean up the fiscal mess we inherited.
@RepSwalwell Honestly don’t know why you’re framing it this way. We all know the tariff rate was a negotiation strategy, and it worked. It was never intended to stay at 145%. China has been ripping the world off for decades. If that is slashed in any way, it’s a win.
Collaboration win by @USOPM and @DOGE: after 35+ years of failed modernization attempts, OPM has announced that, as of June 2, they are replacing their 65+ year old paper process with an all digital alternative. This will reduce the average time people wait to receive their retirement check from 3-5 months to less than 1 month.
California is filing a lawsuit against President Trump for withholding billions of dollars approved by Congress for electric vehicle infrastructure.
This is yet another Trump gift to China — ceding American innovation and killing thousands of jobs.
We are not letting up.
@Acyn Tim does not have a clue about anything. Money just comes from the printer and investments are fake… it’s a joke to believe the government should not (in any capacity) operate as a business.
@Suzierizzo1 Yeah, I don’t think this is the flex you think it is. She kind of embodies everything people dislike about the Left. Hateful and unwilling to have conversation.
Based on full consideration of global expectations, China’s interests, and the appeals of the U.S. business community and consumers, #China has decided to agree to engage with the #US side. As China’s lead on China-U.S. economic and trade affairs, Vice Premier He Lifeng will hold talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his visit to #Switzerland from May 9 to 12.

Can we ALL agree that Congress is the problem. Not the President, not the people on welfare, not the military, not foreign aide. It’s Congress. Both sides of the aisle. All they do is whine and complain and they get nothing done.
@OcrazioCornPop@SpeakerJohnson@DOGE So you're telling me that DOGE spent every single fucking day since January 20th, working 20 hours a day, sleeping on the FLOOR to find waste and fraud in the government...
...and the GOP is just like
"Nah, let's not vote on it."
WTF?!!!!!!!!
@GovPritzker I think this is where we’d disagree. Many believe that this mental confusion of what gender you truly are has a larger impact on the people around you. Not saying that trust can’t be earned but it should be treated simarly to every other disability or disqualifier.
@RepMarkPocan To be clear, the money I am currently putting in is being used by current retirees. So it really isn’t my money. That system cannot continue without becoming insolvent. Hence the issue that needs problem solving.
